Love it for transition but getting a lot of ghost pop with these big wheels. Don’t want to compromise wheel size, so what should I look for in my next board to deal with the big wheel ghost pop, mellower kicks?

or just longer kicks
Thanks!
Yes, that size board has such a short tail, might only be a minimal difference, but I definitely felt it, when compared to other boards.
Even the 8.38 x 32 or 8.4 x 32 both with 14.25 wheebase felt so much easier, which are all the same DLX boards, as they had longer tails.
The slightly mellower kicks will mean the tail will get to the ground faster too, so a III or IV stamped board will do that, but whenever I find I am getting ghost pop it is usually more so because I am not getting down low enough, which is often the case with any board.
Once you get a bit more used to the size of the wheels, it should even out the ghost pop thing too. Muscle memory really makes some things work so well and other things not work at all in regards to different setups.
Do you still get the same issue popping off the nose? Just curious.
* Rad setup too!
